🌊 Great Wave Enamel Pin – Hokusai’s Masterpiece in Miniature
The Wave. The Moment. The Power of Print and Ocean.
Long before modern logos or viral images, there was a wave — crashing with force, frozen in time. The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai is more than a piece of art. It's an icon of movement, chaos, and beauty perfectly balanced.
The Great Wave Enamel Pin brings that legendary image to life in hard enamel. Detailed, expressive, and wearable, this pin captures the timeless spirit of one of Japan’s most celebrated woodblock prints.
The Masterpiece
Created in the early 1830s, The Great Wave is part of Hokusai’s Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji series. While Mount Fuji sits quietly in the background, the wave takes center stage — a force of nature curling high above tiny boats.
It’s a visual paradox: peaceful yet powerful, fleeting yet eternal.
This pin distills that energy into a bold, compact form — made to be seen, appreciated, and worn with pride.
